Movie Theater "The Long Walk"
- Thread starter Redlion

Mark Hamill is an anti-gun libtard piece of shit. No way I'm watching that.
Steven King is a douchebag, but he can write like a MFer. Unlike other successful writers like JK Rowling, who writes like a child, or someone like Michael Chriton, who has wonderful ideas and stories, but writes as flat as a pancake, he is a true master wordsmith writing beautiful sentences that are a joy to read. The Long Walk is in The Bachman Books. I read The Stand when I was a teenager over a weekend. I could not put it down. My favorite is the Dark Tower trilogy. Awesome. I also liked his non-horror stuff. A Painted House is a great book.
It's a pretty short story. Not a "bad" basis for a movie, but the story seems to intentionally leave everything out about how this dystopian, alternate-universe America came about. I'm having a hard time imagining how you fill up a full length movie just watching kids walk till they can't and get shot for 90 minutes... Man vs Man story about human nature, but all of the unwritten background and mystery on how they came to this Long Walk is also kind of the point, and fleshing that out in a movie would change the whole meaning unless done very artfully...
The short story The Long Walk most certainly influenced it's full-novel, big brother, The Running Man.

You'll like it. Hamill is the villian. Contrary to popular belief he's also the villian in Corvette Summer, which deservedly destroyed his acting career (except for Star Wars sequels) in a single stroke.
Fuck mark hammill. Fuck stephen king. Fuck harveyweird.
It's beyond me how anyone can spend even one red cent on anything hollywood. You're just supporting communists that are actively trying to destroy this country.
